Sandals Barbados

First time at Sandals Barbados but a little disappointed. The beach was beautiful and the sea was clear, although there were waves due to wind on beach. There were not enough sunbeds free under shade as too many were reserved from 7am with towels which were not removed even when vacant for several hours. We mostly got our own drinks on the beach as there were not many staff taking orders. The food selection and quality was good with 21 restaurants to choose from, our favourites were Portofinos, Butchs Chophouse, Neptunes and Soy for sushi. The Spice restaurant was good for breakfast but very ordinary for lunch. Compared to Secrets resorts there were a few minor faults:- there was no fruit offered on the beach and no bath robes or slippers in the room. The service was 50/50, some of the staff were friendly and helpful but others were not, particularly in the Spice restaurant. The evening entertainment was very disappointing, there were 3 shows from the same artists but were not very good and most people used the bars instead. I doubt we would return as we much prefered Secrets at Cap Cana or Maroma Beach, which excelled.

This was our fist time to Sandals Royal Barbados . The resort is located only about 15 minutes from Grantley International Airport, which is convenient. Although it is a large resort, it isn't crowded at all. There's plenty of room to find a quiet place to sit and enough pools to easily find a chair. The main infinity pool is incredible and the view from the rooftop infinity pool is breathtaking . The beach is absolutely amazing though the chairs fill up quickly. Also, this is the only Sandals resort with a bowling alley. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating during our stay. Having a total of 21 restaurants on both resorts choose from gives you a wide variety cuisine. After trying most of them, each experience was different and enjoyable. The property is well maintained and clean. If you're looking for a tropical destination, I would definitely recommend trying this one.

Just back from Sandals Barbados, great resort. Beaches are fantastic. Great choice of restaurants. Cleanliness in room and housekeeping excellent. Staff were friendly. Massage at the Red Spa was perfect. Tiny niggles were not monitoring smoking/vaping well and either insist men wear long trousers in the Parisienne or let everyone wear shorts - some guests were smoking Cuban cigars in public areas! Also service in the shops was not the quickest. However these were the tiniest of details in an otherwise perfect holiday. Above and beyond must go to Dale in the Piano Bar, he was fantastic!

Great all inclusive resort. The Merry Monkey is a must. Jack is the manager there and is the best manager we’ve met at a Sandals Resort. He makes sure everyone is well taken care of.

What a fantastic stay we had at Sandals Barbados! It’s been a wonderful, relaxing week and we are sad to go. This is our first trip back since we said our vows here in 2018. While much has has changed during that time, the most important things have not. The beauty of the island, kindness of the people, our fantastic butlers, and many other staff who have been stellar during our visit. First, to our wonderful butler team Nicola, Denese, and Shanice - you ladies have been a pleasure to work with! You have met our needs during our stay and exceeded! Thank you so much for your hard work, thoroughness, and friendliness. We are truly appreciative! Avery, our waiter at Butch’s Seafood and Steakhouse - you made our night! Not once did we need to ask for anything during our wonderful dinner! And you were handling many tables other than us. So much personality and we had a wonderful night! Thank you! Cassandria in housekeeping - thank you so much for your hard work during our stay and in making sure all of our needs were met. Not once did we have to call because something needed to be replaced. Our room was meticulous and we are very appreciative! To a few of our Infinity Pool team - Mahalia, Shakeira, Annette, you ladies rock!! You kept the drinks and party mode flowing! Thank you for taking care of us!!
